Cutting Social Security is bad

Message to the Republican Party: Leave the senior citizens alone. There is nothing to cut. Social Security is not an entitlement. They paid into it all their lives, and everyone who is employed is still paying into it. Fix it where politicians cannot take money out of it - period. You can start cutting spending on lots of other things. Defund foreign aid and use it to restore Social Security. Stop giving billions on top of billions to all the terrorist countries: Egypt, Pakistan, Yemen and the list goes on and on. That would be a good start to cut spending.

We need term limits for all elected officials - eight years tops. Serving the public should not be a lifetime career - too much corruption. Stop welfare fraud and do not raise taxes. Taxes in Louisiana are too high now. If you decide not to give seniors a cost of living increase then cut the pay for elected officials. Now, there is a great idea. Elected officials work for us. They seem to forget that as soon as they are elected. The Republican Party is finished if it turns on senior citizens. It is also such a bad idea to do away with the state income tax and everyone must pay a new tax on everything else. Bad idea. Do not vote for it. It would put such a burden on everyone.
